Don't know if you intentionally worded it this way, but it sounds kind of funny...

i hoped someone would catch it

1) First ballot HOF, ROTY
2) All Pro first year, first round talent that fell to us in second
3) Starter for years to come, cant believe he fell
4) Absolute steal of draft, 2nd round grade
5) Back up at first then starter for 10 years
6) Incredible depth and ST demon
7) Amazing value, shoulda went 3 rounds earlier

Well I am going to miss yelling "KICK 'EM IN THE COTCH" After every touchdown he caught. Therefor, if Blount is as exciting, I will have to start yelling "Spark the Blount in the end zone" .. Or something to that effect lol

There are many reasons to get excited about Blount. First and foremost the guy brings a bit of toughness to the Steelers. The guy has an angry streak not just with Boise players. Second, he has a career average of 4.7 ypc, with a 5.0 last year with the Pats. Third, he is faster than advertised especially for a big man. He knows how to get low to absorb a blow, then keep his legs churning. He indeed runs hard and has very light feet for a big man. I really liked Blount coming out of college and wanted to take a late round flyer on him much like I do on Lyerla. I think Blount is a great fit with the Steelers.

I'm with you all the way Shawn. I watched this kid some for the Pats last year. A punishing running runner for sure, with good speed, and lots of tread left on the tires.

Kick 'em in the Cotch was classic last year. It could be replaced with Bount Force Trauma Time.

Not sure if Blount is the best fit for this team. I think he tends to struggle unless his OL opens big holes for him, and I don't think he's much of a blocker or receiver. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on these points.

Not a big Blount fan...and this is not a "just say no!" ad. He put together a couple of good games last year but his blocking was great more than it was him carrying the load. Have not been impressed since he burst onto the scene and slowly tailed off after that.
